Our melaninated brilliance has reached peak levels. And now, thanks to Dr. Yaba Blay, there is a new digital movement to celebrate black women out here going to class, working their hustles and rocking unique styles, all while leaving a trail of fairy dust in their wake.

#ProfessionalBlackGirl is all about celebrating the swag of everyday black women.
